New Kingston, Jamaica 

I agree, but it's also impressive to see a city with two *Central Business Districts* each completely unique of each other.... It's matter of time *Kingston* will reclaim it's rightful place as the top *Caribbean City* again.....🇯🇲👏

Kwacou I would love to see that man .

@@kingnaldo4058 I think it still is

It will

@@kingnaldo4058 yes...all of that plus sports and culture....remember that all 4 genres of modern Jamaican music have their roots in Kingston...SKA , ROCK STEADY ,REGGAE and DANCE-HALL plus some other minor genres like DUB and DUB POETRY .

It truly is

You are most welcome

You are most welcome Miss Davis and i thank you for your kind words

Those little dots can't compete with Jamaica.

@@Grogu-485 compete with Jamaica in what sense?

Why should they? Given the space limitations ....especially in Barbados, a skyline such as this may not be physically possible. But with $1BD, sure....we would eat our hearts out indeed! now try that

@@dtechwill what about $1BD. Still can't compete.

Give no credit to the nay sayers. Jamaica shall rise again. 4er ❤🇯🇲🇯🇲

IKR

It's good to think well of one's country. But so often, a pleasant skyline doesn't guarantee an elevated standard of living for citizens of a given place

Of course Kingston the most millionaires 132 Jamaica dollar to 1US dollar technically an entry level police officer basic pay is J$$745.200 an year so it's easy to become a millionaire in Jamaica except when leave Jamaica those figures don't add up to nothing much that title goes to Barbados sorry to bust your bubble

@GO TOONS facts

@@factscheckeddall4221 Cayman, Bermuda, Bahamas, Trinidad as well

Always a pleasure

Thank you my brother

Da Royal General 😊bless up mi G 💯💪

Will get much better soon. Government hasn't allowed buildings to be too tall but they're working on changing that in the future

Indeed

You are most kind

Blessings Bro

Thank you my friend

Suh it guh more time

Yeah man Teach,, Respect 👊🔥🔥🔥

same

Robert, what can I get in Jamaica with EC$100?

Trinidad has about 8 buildings that height or taller but commenters here are saying jam is the envy of the region

@@ricko2301 The thing is this is a business district & unique & distinct in that way. Has many hotels, enjoys over 250,000 business tourists annually & is separate & apart from the wharf area of Kingston. The wharf is really the lifeblood of the general Kingston area. This separate area tho is a real estate bloc dubbed "Golden Triangle" that poses mixed use buildings which helps to drive its appeal. It really hasn't reached half of its potential as a developers & owners bubble yet.

Haha

Search through my videos you will find some of them

Facts

much bigger country

Respect Bro

You welcome

Not sure about next but I will eventually

Sir, it's very interesting seeing you commenting about wanting to see *Ocho Rios* look like *New Kingston* after watching you posting on numerous posts on *RU-vid* claiming *Ocho Rios* to be the *Richest, Most Beautiful* and your favorite word *Most Opulence* city in *Jamaica* ...... So just like the *Bajans* and *Trinis* you're now forced to respect *Kingston.* ....Smh! *Ocho Rios* is a town and not a city and most definitely not the most *Opulent* over *Kingston, Mandeville or Montego Bay* ......Facts🤔🇯🇲👍

Now u get it.DWL

@@jamaicanice1522 I think he got it.....👍😄

Ocho rios can never look like new kingston yuh crazy. Maybe you weren't born in Kingston. I was . No other town in city in Jamaica will ever look like new Kingston or any part of Kingston.

@@boynton20 I was talking about a financial centre, not anything to do with beauty of New Kingston because it's not beautiful!!!! Old dilapidated buildings that look like Jamaica stuck in the 1960s. If Ocho Rios and Montego Bay wanna seek inspiration from a capital city in the Caribbean ( architecturally speaking), they better look to Nassau, San Juan, Bridgetown, Port of Spain or Hamilton because Kingston is the shithole that just keeps on giving.

Really don't recall will have to check my catalog

I would really appreciate you checking and letting me know, again thanks for Informative video and please keep the videos coming.

@@jahmekyah9275 need to start putting music credits in the description.

Thats not ghana u cant read or what?

Agree some towns in ochie need facelift badly

There’s an individual video of downtown

Regardless I still really appreciated it. Havent been back to jamaica in 20 years.

20 *South Avenue* is in *New Kingston* bro *Pete* and is in the video. When the camera pans over *Knutsford Blvd* you can see the building in the distance towards *Half Way Tree* .....🤔

@UCt4JO9IzDuujKnxGahMvzkQ it's not in new Kingston. Its close to new Kingston but not In new Kingston. Its basically on the outskirts of new kingston to be specific.

Well not really because i purchase every song i use my friend

@@jahmekyah9275 so it's not important for your viewers who like the music to know the artiste and song title?

I dont see a need for me to to that my friend blessing

Family it was a display of the place not a road naming video

No.. Your video is perfect. I'm referring to the faded road markings (white lines, lane dividers, crosswalks and reflectors etc).

@@JamieDPS yes...you are right..it could make it harder for some drivers at night and at certain lighting conditions to see the turns....this poor road marking problem is wide spread all over Jamaica...all the authorities do after road accidents is blame the drivers and don't even look at the poor road markings or lack of it...

@@donovantaylor3137 Fully agree..I will challenge the National Works Agency and ask the National Road Safety Council to keep it at top of their priority list. Low hanging fruit.

@@jahmekyah9275 Thank you.Dwl

Lol

Dont get me wrong,..Port of Spain is as taller buildings but not this beauty and lay out..This is like a mini Miami.

@@jamaicanice1522 I agree.... *Port of Spain* has exactly 12 buildings that are taller than our tallest building *The Pegasus* ..... But *Kingston* has a complete well designed *Grid* layout than any other *Caribbean City* ..... Fact.... With two separate Downtowns *Central Business Districts* truly unique indeed.....👍🇯🇲👏🤔

@@kingnaldo4058 Trinidad is not subject to big hurricane and earthquake, as Jamaica! So we don't build our building as tall as Trinidad...

@@hotbiz123 Sir that's utter nonsense..... *Tokyo Japan* sits on the worlds most active earthquake fault line zone and yet they have 50 buildings over 600 feet high. Meanwhile *San Francisco* sitting on the same earthquake fault line zone has a total of 472 skyscrapers. *Panama City* sits on the *Colombian fault line* has 70 skyscrapers and counting. In 2018 *Port of Spain* had 17 earthquakes from 3.5 to 4.2 magnitude. So far this year they're on pace to eclipse that amount, with seven thus far with a high 4.6 magnitude, with zero building structural damage to any of their 12 skyscrapers..... The technology to withstand 10. earthquake magnitude, where each building base is protected by the rigid box to avoid falling or tilting, including structural damages. The foundations into a rigid box that holds together when shaken by a quake is the safest protection against any quake. The highest magnitude earthquake 9.5 was measured in *Chile* and they have more skyscrapers than *Jamaica* and still building. So stop spreading unsubstantiated fear of hypotheticals and promote development in a competitive environment with trust and faith in technology...... Bless👍🇯🇲👏

You are right, they are similar in many ways

Kingston is changing so many buildings planned so many more taller buildings in the pipeline in the next 4 years Kingston will look much more impressive

Do you think we only listen jamaican music

Of course not, after all here in Brazil there are also people who do not like samba and bossa nova. Sorry it was just a curiosity, hug

Remember we were part of Britain from 1655 - 1962. Most of our laws, customs, traditions, names of streets, roads and towns and language are based on the British model. Spain also contributed 1494 - 1655 . Would love to travel to Brazil.

Jamaicans listen to other genre of music not only jamaican music

Who are we??? Speak for your self, and why are you comparing a country of 200 million with one of only 3 million.

@@murex5372 well said. And Nigeria has oil.. and he forgot to mention the river slum in Nigeria. I don't know where he get that from that Jamaicans laughing at Nigeria.. he is full of scrap.

*Joseph Hall* need an evaluation....🤔

We don't need no comparison between both countries. Both are one people separated by circumstance.

Why are u comparing the countries? Both countries are beautiful this is not a comparison video

You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Kingston doesn't need any inspiration from neither of those second-tier cities. The tallest building in Port of Spain is 27 floors and the tallest building in San Juan is 28 floors, which was built in 1970. The transformation that is taking place in Kingston right now will put both of them to shame in a few years. New Kingston is just one of Kingston's four main Business Districts that is being transformed as we speak with the construction of six new highrises over 20 floors and another two highrises over 30 floors etc., which when completed will give Jamaica the tallest building in Caricom and the third tallest in the Caribbean.

@@murex5372 are you telling me that Kingston buildings look better than PoS or SJ? I don't care about the height of Port of Spain buildings, I'm talking about the sleek modern 21st century type which in Kingston case, it's probably only Digicel building in downtown Kingston may beg to differ!!!!! If Port of Spain and San Juan is second-tier cities, where would you rank Kingstown? Even African cities are more modernized, so I no longer compare Kingston with African cities because Kingston still stuck in the past. It's not about how many highrise buildings to come, I'm talking about sleek modern buildings. Look at Port of Spain waterfront compare to Kingston waterfront and you will see the difference!!!!! #NotEvenClose

@@anthonyfrancis9363 what are you doing on this channel.. I can never watch anything about Trinidad because I don't like them..so I don't want to know or hear anything about them or their country. The majority Jamaicans don't even remember you all exist, because you all are not important to us or cared what you think.. Trinidadians are not the one waking us up in the morning.. God is our source not man, so we care less what you think. Bye boy, go get a life miss cissy.

Port of Spain is not Kingston. Kingston is a good size well laid out city. Port of Spain is a nice size town with a few tall buildings. It's quite nice but just not Kingston. I have been to both.

@@answerdstewartfineartist I notice you didn't mention San Juan world renowned architecture buildings. I love all of them but I never walk or drive around Kingston and look up at it's building an go WOW. It doesn't brings out the wow factor like Old San Juan architecture. I'm not talking about size. If you wanna see what I'm talking about just look at any RU-vid videos of Old San Juan and do your own comparison.
